That turns out not to be the case.

An "anti-static bag" is conductive. It protects against static electricity building up on the bag itself and then zapping something inside it. But exactly because it is conductive, putting a device on top of it is almost like putting a device on a piece of metal. Even if it doesn't short itself out just by sitting there, you can very easily zap it by touching it and having the current flow through the bag to ground.
